Bug#566874: Multiple video cards + Xinerama + vga_arbitor makes X unusable with kernel 2.6.32
Hi Emilio, Emilio J. Padron wrote: Of course I am not sure, but I think it is the same error. I have 2 nvidia gpus (9800 GT) and the problem arised with kernel 2.6.32 and nvidia driver 195.36.24. A dual-GPU setup probably hitting the same problem. OK. If you hit same problem, does the patch suggested in message #20 work for you? I didn't try the patch, since I am managing the nvidiacuda stuff with debian packages and I didn't have time to check with the nvidia OK, I put together some experimental packages containing a lot of changes and fixes over the 195.36.24-1 release, including the patch mentioned before. You can find the packages here: http://stxxl.ae.cs.uni-frankfurt.de/tmp/ea1deb9d-456a-4b51-9a0f-49a13354a009/ Please try the nvidia-kernel-source or nvidia-kernel-dkms package found there and see if rebuilding the module from this source solves your problem. You don't need to update any of the other packages. Ok, you are right. I was referring to the last message in the thread, saying that the patch solving the problem was applied to sources in package 195.36.24-1. I meant to say that I didn't get the bug solved using that package. It was probably fixed for a few dual-GPU setups with the first patch (now included) but not all (hopefully fixing the remaining with the second patch).
